    Become a Guardian Angel

    Tigers for Tomorrow offers you the chance to become a Guardian Angel and adopt one of our beautiful exotic animals. Take a Wild Thing home with you today!

    Great Gift idea for the Holidays- New Gift level- read on!

    Besides helping us provide a better life for our rescued animals, the Guardian Angel program is dedicated to providing all of our animals with a better life, funds generated on the gaurdian angel program are used to provide our animals with enrichment (toys, barrels, jungle gyms), habitat maitenance, pay veterinary bills and other expenses such as water pails that some of the cats like Cowboy like to destroy. We also take great pride in our tours that we give to our Guardian Angels, because it is our chance to educate the public on exotic animals, their role in the environment, and how we can all make a difference in local and global conservation.

    We would like to thank everyone who recycled ink cartridges and helped us raise funds to support the animals. We have been notified the company that was recycling is no longer accepting donations. Please continue to recycle .

     
    2006 Sponsors & 2007 Sponsors

    Great news! Tigers For Tomorrow has just recieved a grant from the Folke H. Peterson Foundation in the amount of $50,000 to provide homes for misplaced exotic animals. This grant combined with the grant bestowed from The Daniel Foundation of Alabama will give the organization a good jump on a $400,000 development of the west side preserve. We are very thankful for the support shown by both of these foundations and will keep them and all of you updated on our progress. 

    Doc
    Thanks!
    As we look back at 2006 we would like to thank the sponsors and foundations that helped us make it through our first year in Alabama.

    We first would like to thank Donny James of James & Company in Collinsville for his donations of recycled wood. His donations of recycled wood have made great den boxes for the Big Cats in their new enclosures. James & Company has also recently donated recycled timbers for the structure of our Children's Pavilion. The completion of this pavilion will provide a place for our education specialist to have formal education programs and for the children attending the park with field trips to have lunch.

    For those of you interested in recycled wood products James & Company can be reached at WWW.Jamesandcompany.com. As a side note on April 22, 2007 James & Co. will be hosting an Earth Day event at 600 County Road 209 in Collinsville. We will keep you updated on our site about the event so save the date.

    U.S.D.A. no longer allows Declawing and Tooth Removal
    claws
    Let me keep these, please.

    Issued August 2006

    Declawing or the removal of the canine teeth (fangs) in wild or exotic carnivores or nonhuman primates is no longer considered to be appropriate veterinary care unless prescribed by the attending veterinarian for treatment of individual medical problems of the paws or teeth. These procedures are no longer considered to be acceptable when performed solely for handling or husbandry purposes since they can cause considerable pain and discomfort to the animal and may result in chronic health problems. These procedures are no longer allowed under the Animal Welfare Act. This notice is consistent with the current position statement issued by the American Veterinary Medical Association.
